Hello and happy monday!! I hope you’re all having a great day so far! I wanted to come and share my new homemade kit with you.
I am doing this kit series on my YouTube channel with a few other friends. Hannah, Felicia Young and Khristina Sorge and I all started out with the same paper and a recipe to follow. Here’s the recipe:
Our Inspiration paper for the whole kit was: Lucy (Amy Tangerine patterned paper from the Rise & Shine collection)
Patterned Papers:
- Bold Pattern Paper
- Texture Pattern Paper (watercolor, woodgrain, fabric, etc)
- Dot/Circle Pattern Paper
- Freebie Pattern Paper
- 2 Scraps or 6×6 Papers
Embellishment Recipe:
- Cut File
- Stencil
- 2 Alpha’s
- Sticker Sheet
- layered embellishments
- embellishment pack
- frames
- buttons
- washi tape
- thread/twine/ribbon
- freebie embellishment
These are the papers I picked out. I also used a couple pieces of white cardstock as my backgrounds on layouts to help stretch my kit further.
Instead of picking 2 thickers, I decided to use this alpha sheet on the left above. I knew I probably wouldn’t use the pink, red and orange alphas and I was totally right! The sticker sheet I picked was pretty used, I’m hoping I can use it all up. The dark blue/navy alpha doesn’t really match with the rest of the kit so I won’t be using that.
My favorite part of this kit is the embellishments!! I had a lot of fun picking them out. This time around I tried to keep the embellishments to a minimum because I really don’t use a whole lot on my layouts. The last couple kits I’ve had a ton of left over embellishments and it makes me feel like I didn’t do a good job using the kit.
You can watch my kit share video below and I will be back on Tuesday (tomorrow) with my very first layout process video for this kit.
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you have a great scrappy week!
